For the record, gender pay gap reporting for the year 2019/20 has been suspended due to the impact of coronavirus. Which is a bit of a shame but understandable.

Even more understandable when you consider Equalities Minister Liz Truss founded a think tank which has repeatedly called for pay gap reporting to be scrapped and has been hinting at Equality Act reform recently. Below is from a report authored by Dominic Raab and with a forward from Boris Johnson for Truss' Free Enterprise Group.

Posted somewhere else, remarkably Lewes football club pay the women players the same as men and have done so for some while.

That's not really equal either given Lewes women play the equivalent of five or six divisions higher than the men. They're certainly not getting anything like what Championship level male players get.
